Through the woods, Lincoln ran, panting as a group of men dressed in bullet proof vests, holding automatics from the ATCU chased after him.

"He's moving North!" One of the men informed the group of men. "Use lethal force if necessary!" The same man ordered.

Despite his legs aching and the burn in his rib cage, Lincoln pushed his legs faster, to take him further. 

As the ATCU men chased the inhuman, they shouted instructions to one another. They group of men stopped with their guns held high as they spread out and looked over their surroundings trying to find the inhuman.

"There." Banks' raspy voice sounded as he spotted Lincoln. The men rushed after him as Lincoln ran for one of the transmission towers.

Running under one, he waited on the other side and as the men from the ATCU got closer, Lincoln blasted electricity on both sides of one of the towers.

"Stop!" Banks yelled to the group.

The crackling electricity was being blasted by Lincoln to the tower, the electricity flowed upwards to the wires before sparks of electricity came sparkling down to the ground like a shower of blue fireworks.

"Fall back!" Banks ordered his team as Lincoln took this opportunity to run. "Unit two can try and head him off." Banks said "But get her on the phone. Tell her we lost him." Banks ordered "It's time to bring everyone else in on this."

Daisy walked in to the lab anxiously, her heels clicking loudly on the floor, and stood at the door, waiting for Coulson to finish the conversation he was having with Fitz, Bobbi, and Mack.

"Lincoln's in trouble." She informed Coulson and Mack as they reached her. The three walked out of the lab as Daisy explained. "The ATCU issued a nationwide bolo-- FBI, Homeland Security, Local Police-- all notified." Daisy informed them. "Sent 'em Lincoln's resume and head shot."

"Sounds like the ATCU's getting desperate." Coulson commented.

"What are they gonna do when they find him?" Daisy asked "I'm guessing it won't be awesome. He needs help." Daisy said and Mack had a feeling it was more than just helping Lincoln. Daisy was getting desperate as her baby was growing at an inhuman rate. Officially, Daisy was a month and a half pregnant but, physically, she looked a little over five months. Twenty-three weeks, to be exact. 

"Look, we went to Lincoln more than once. He didn't want our help." Mack said.

"It doesn't mean he deserves to be hunted like a fugitive, not to mention there's a giant with a grudge looking to kill him." Daisy argued.

"Which is why we need to bring him in--now." Coulson said.

"That would be the plan if we knew where to find him, but he's not messaging me back, and I--" Daisy cut herself off as she saw the looks Coulson and Mack were exchanging. "What?" She asked 

"You want to tell her?" Mack asked Coulson

"Great. Tell me what?" Daisy asked as Coulson and Mack kept looking at each other expectantly. "What do neither of you want to tell me?" Daisy asked

"We know how to find him." Coulson answered, discreet on the details.

Lincoln jogged down an old graffitied street with a hand holding his backpack strap when suddenly his newly bought burner phone started to ring, causing him to stop. Lincoln picked up the phone, still panting, to hear a voice he wasn't expecting but wasn't surprised to hear.
